Chapter 1430: Yin Qi Crystal
As soon as the Demon King Level Demon Spirit Pill entered his stomach, Chen Nan immediately felt a surge of immense medicinal power, a force so vast it almost blew his body apart!
He hurriedly circulated the Mountain and Sea Spirit Casting Record, while assuming one strange posture after another, merging the medicinal power into every single cell of his body.
The constant, unceasing agony tormented Chen Nan to no end; under the impact of that enormous medicinal force, he nearly fainted, yet he still relied on his extraordinary willpower to grit his teeth and endure.
As time passed, the Demon Spirit Pill was gradually completely absorbed by him; every part of his body seemed to undergo changes, crackling sounds like beans exploding rang out all over his body.
His body was undergoing a metamorphosis!
"Roar!"
Chen Nan couldn’t help but let out an angry roar, yet the sound was that of the Demon Ape clan; in the void behind him, a gigantic phantom of unknown height emerged.
The mere aura radiating from that phantom was enough to make ordinary demon beasts tremble in fear.
The Demon Ape phantom gradually shrank, and in the end completely merged into Chen Nan’s body, and the Demon Ape Form finally, at this very moment, stepped into Perfection!
Feeling his strength rise once again, Chen Nan was wildly excited in his heart; with a gentle punch, the space around him seemed to twist.
Having completely fused the powers of three Demon Clans, Chen Nan felt that now, with just his formidable physique and strength, he could go toe-to-toe with an Early-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
Moreover, the Fatian Xiangdi Divine Skill no longer had any backlash; after using it he wouldn’t fall into weakness, though this state consumed a tremendous amount of physical strength. By his estimate, he could maintain Fatian Xiangdi for the time it takes one stick of incense to burn.
Within this span of time, even if he dispelled the Fatian Xiangdi Divine Skill, he would still have strength to spare; if he exceeded this duration, once his stamina was completely exhausted, his combat strength would naturally decline.
Before Chen Nan could leave the Immortal Palace Space, he suddenly felt something in his heart, quickly sat down cross-legged, and directly grabbed a large number of Spirit Stones to place around him.
Because he felt that his Cultivation was about to break through as well!
Over these ten months, he and Yuan Sensen had been inseparable; every Dual Cultivation session would grant him a wisp of Yin Yuan. After refining these Yin Yuan, he finally pushed his Cultivation up.
Coupled with the Demon Ape Form reaching Perfection, the momentum of his breakthrough had already become unstoppable!
The surrounding Spirit Stones were rapidly absorbed and turned to powder; the vast Spiritual Energy surged into Chen Nan’s body and into his Golden Core.
Inside the Golden Core, the Jianmu lightly swayed, the leaves on its branches blooming with different lights; if someone were standing in front of Chen Nan at this moment, they would see that in the void behind him, a Jianmu phantom had also appeared.
Different rays of light blossomed on the phantom—these were the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects he had absorbed and refined, and also his All Things Spiritual Root; each color represented a type of Spirit Root attribute.
One Spirit Stone after another was completely drained; the Spirit Stones shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if Chen Nan were an endless bottomless pit.
Finally, at a certain moment, the accumulated Spiritual Energy was sufficient; Chen Nan controlled that Spiritual Energy like a giant wave, crashing toward the barrier above.
Once, twice...
After an unknown number of impacts, the barrier was finally shattered, and Chen Nan’s Realm rose with the tide, directly stepping into Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer Perfection, skipping right over the Late Stage minor Realm.
He was just one step away from advancing to Sixth-Layer Golden Core Realm!
Chen Nan slowly opened his eyes and gently exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. Looking at the Spirit Stone powder all around him, he couldn’t help but let out a wry smile; he had to think of a way to get more Spirit Stones.
Speaking of Spirit Stones, he suddenly remembered something, and hastily took out many black crystals from his storage bag—these were the drops from killing members of the Ghost Clan.
The largest piece was the crystal left behind after the Ghost King’s death.
Chen Nan grabbed a crystal in his hand and immediately felt a surge of icy cold that seemed about to freeze his palm solid.
"What can this thing be used for? Can it be absorbed?" With a thought, a golden flame rose in his palm, driving away part of the cold.
One should know that Chen Nan possessed a Yin Attribute Spiritual Root; the Spiritual Object he had refined back then was precisely the Demon Suppressing Sword, so one could say the Demon Suppressing Sword was Chen Nan’s Yin Attribute Spiritual Root.
Since even the Demon Suppressing Sword could absorb Yin Energy, there was no reason he couldn’t.
So Chen Nan directly clutched the crystal in his hand and began forcibly absorbing and refining it. When the Yin Energy in the crystal entered his body, a bone-piercing chill surged forth.
Frost even formed on the surface of Chen Nan’s body, making him look as if he had been frozen solid.
The most agonizing pain did not come from Chen Nan’s flesh, but from his Divine Soul.
Because the cold Qi released from the crystal targeted not only the flesh, but also the Divine Soul. Chen Nan had already experienced the ferocity of this cold Qi when he first entered the Heavenly Cutting Abyss.
Even so, he did not give up on refining it, but continued. Before long, Chen Nan was completely frozen inside a block of ice-cold frost; even his Divine Soul was frozen, his thoughts turning rigid.
No one knew how much time passed before the Demon Suppressing Sword within his Golden Core suddenly stirred, and a deep crack instantly appeared on the icy block encasing Chen Nan.
With a bang, the ice shattered, and Chen Nan slowly opened his eyes, a breath of cold air spilling from his mouth.
The crystal in his hand had vanished without a trace; clearly, its Yin Energy had been completely absorbed and refined by him.
"Just as I thought, Yin Qi Crystals can indeed be absorbed. I can even feel my Cultivation improving slightly, but the greatest improvement isn’t in Cultivation, it’s... my Divine Soul!"
Previously, his Divine Soul had also been frozen by the cold Qi, yet after thawing, he discovered that his Divine Soul, tempered by the cold, had actually grown a little.
One must know, the Divine Soul is the hardest to improve; it normally only increases in step with a rise in Cultivation. But now, as long as he absorbed Yin Qi Crystals, he could increase his Divine Soul Power!
If he had enough Yin Qi Crystals, perhaps his Divine Soul could be elevated to the level of the Nascent Soul Realm!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Nan took a deep breath. There was no rush to absorb more Yin Qi Crystals for now; he had been inside for so long, it was time to go out and take a look.
After stabilizing his Realm for a while, Chen Nan left the Immortal Palace Space and walked out of the room.
When Ao Hao saw Chen Nan, he couldn’t help but freeze for a moment. "Your Cultivation broke through?"
"Yeah, it just suddenly broke through."
Many members of the Demon Clan almost died of envy at those words. What did he mean by "just suddenly broke through"? He had only cultivated for a month and already increased his Cultivation. With such speed, no wonder Ao Hao wanted to rope him in.
"Good. Since you’ve already come out of seclusion, we can’t delay any longer. This place is filled with Extremely Yin Qi and is completely unsuitable for us to survive in, so we must head to the Inner Sea!"
"I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time." Chen Nan clenched his fist.
Ao Hao nodded, directly操控 the Flying Boat into the air. At the same time, a map appeared in his hand, with a certain location marked upon it—that was their destination.
But to reach that destination, they still had to pass through a region of black mist; the Yin Beasts Ao Hao had mentioned were within that black fog.
